In what seems to be an embarrassing move, juniour and assistant engineers deputed with Muncipal Corporation of Gurgoan need to undergo a written exam in order to prove their competence. The question paper is going to be set by a consultant. Engineers are not happy with this MCG move.

MCG must have
come to this conclusion with the way roads in Gurgaon are built.
These roads does not last for long. Primarily, these roads are tested
during the rainy season. The MCG Chief, Praveen Kumar wants to
increase the knowledge of their engineers through this test as well.

"I
feel this test will generate their interest in the work and enhance
their skills. Most of them are not fully aware of the work they are
supposed to do. For example, 25 factors are to be taken into account
while constructing a concrete road. However they are not sure of the
formula and proportion used for construction. The questions for the
test will be prepared by a consultant and I will personally monitor
the test which will be conducted soon," said Kumar, reported The
Times of India.

But,
this has not gone well with engineers of MCG. It seems that the MCG
does not trust the knowledge of these engineers, hence the test.
There are more than 30 such engineers, who need to undergo the test.

If
these engineers fail to crack the test, Praveen Kumar may well send
these engineers to their parent organisation. "We are well
qualified for the job. This is just an attempt to prove us wrong and
show that we are incompetent," said a junior engineer, who
refrained from being named.
